RIP 007 Sean Connery has exited stage left.

Sean Connery has passed at age 90.

The best and original, Bond, James Bond has finally been released from Her Majesty’s Royal Service.

Rest In Peace Sir Connery, you entertained us for a lifetime.

Rest in Peace, Sir Thomas Sean Connery!

I was not a Bond fan so much, but loved him and Michael Caine in The Man Who Would be King. And, Finding Forrester.

Phenomenal talent, truly missed.
Will enjoy the sure-to-come re-run flood and hope they catch many of the non-obvious ones.
RIP, sir!

"The man who would be King" in 1975 starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine.

Immediately after this image the guy in the black uniform yells and charges into a large group of tribesmen armed with only a Gurkha knife.

My favorite part in the whole movie.

Enjoyed watching him in many, many movies.

The one about the flying scull could best be forgotten.

Always liked his part in "The Wind and the Lion". In fact the movie is one of my favorites.
